3/19/18: The Gulch- 12 Years Later

Jay Turner, Managing Director and Dirk Melton, Development Director for MarketStreet Enterprises will bring us an update on the evolution of the Gulch.

Once the site of Nashville’s bustling railroad yard with origins dating to before the Civil War, the Gulch fell into neglect following World War II. A sparsely occupied area for nearly 50 years, urban revitalization began when the Turner family took hold of the land in the early 2000’s. Through numerous public and private sector initiatives, MarketStreet Enterprises, Master Developer of the Gulch, and other development companies continue to transform the dynamic ever changing landscape of the vibrant neighborhood.

“I invest in the Rotary Club’s projects because I think we can do so much more collectively than individually…both from a financial and volunteer perspective.”
